Huge Problem with Shield of Absorbtion

#1 - Sept. 14, 2012, 8:56 a.m.

Dear ArenaNet Team,
I allready reported it multiple times, but I understand that you can’t read every bugreport. I couldn’t find a report on these forums, so I post it (again?). This is NOT meant to be an exploit-advertisement! I tried to report it ingame multiple times.

There is a huge (may not known?) difference between the races. Currently the smallest Asura makes a bubble half of the size the tallest Norn would do. A picture will be in the attachements.

Moreover this isn’t even limited to the visual effects, its a problem of the push-back effect itself! The small Asura just pushes the half of the size a tall Norn do. This bug does not apply on “Sanctuary”
I hope nobody will exploit this bug and it will be fixed asap.

P.S.: Maybe some of you might think the Asura on the screenshot is casting “Sanctuary”, but he’s not. Test it by yourself. On this screen we just even used a half sized Charr. Moreover I’m really sorry if there is allready a post about this topic.

Hi there, I’d like to clarify a bit on this issue (and figured I’d do it in the original thread):
The size of the actual skill is the same, regardless of race. What I see in the video is that the asura’s first Shield of Absorption pushes back its maximum (and closest) 5 enemies, then the next Shield of Absorption pushes the rest out of the skill’s radius. The skill’s visual effect is what’s dependent on the size of the character and will be fixed shortly, but the actual area of the ability is static.
